INFOGRAPHIC: GAY SUICIDE RATE & SWIPE

finding the rate of gay/lesbian suicides is much harder than finding those categorized into race or gender. although i'm going to continue trying to find more information about homosexual suicide, i might have to just narrow it down to suicide in teens or some other category. i've just been infatuated with the rate of gay suicides. it's been 5 in less than a month due to bullying, and that is by every means disgusting. although my recent obsession with this has hindered me into getting into the design aspect of the project.

i may have overwhelmed myself on this one :/ this isn't even all the information i've stumbled upon, just some i chose to post up. i'm going to really have to delve into this and pull out what is significant so i can ACTUALLY design something this week.

i am in LOVE with the nicholas feltron reports. they are so clean yet busy at the same time, which is something i struggle with. i didn't post each report individually because visiting the website is completely worth the time. the 2005 reports are probably my favorites.

don't like the infographic above but i do like the theme of it just because of our day and age, and plus the more infographics i see, the better my mind will adjust to making one.

is this an infographic? unsure, but it's still rather interesting.
